As a heavy duty diesel mechanic myself, enough tools are never enough tools

An old timer once told me, " its not just about what brand name you have, but also knowing how to use it". I hear ya about not getting carried away on just the tool but also concentrating on honing your knowledge and skills.

The only diesel mechanic in the world who does not have anything Snapon lol. Nice

Very realistic stuff. 90% of videos all u see is snap on. Fan boy stuff. Great video .

wow very clean toolbox for a diesel mechanic

I have to say that 40 some years ago I was starting out as a young Tech and a older mechanic took me to the side and told me about getting sucked into the tool truck wallet vacuum. he show me his Craftsman box With a mix of tools some Snap-on, Mac, Proto, Craftsman. you get the idea. well he said buy what works don't buy the name he said watch the other guy's cringe when the truck arrives. he was right I never bought much from the tool truck and I never missed going out to lunch with him on Friday's raised my family, and made a decent living and now I work for myself. Life is good when you are young not owing a tool man every week to make a living.

I like the setup of separating 3/8 drive from 1/2 drive.

Great video, definitely sheds some light in areas other people don't show you in the industry.

Those 4 angle wrenches from sunex are great and saved me a lot of time. I dont have many but I buy the ones I need 1 at a time

Lovely set of tools and all paid for. I like your style of staying off of the tool trucks. You still have top quality tools. Those are the only long reach Knipex Cobra's I have seen except my own. It shows you think before you buy.

Nice set up. Wish I didnt spend as much as I have with snap on and mac. id be driving a brand new truck or have a more happy wife

Thanks for the tour GM X.👍

Awesome Diesel Mech. no snap on or macs, same here Im a Milwaukee fanboy. Im a new component rebuilder/ in power-trains at Cat and the techs here are on Snap on or mac fan, but I'm not gonna be like them, spending x2 or x3 for that tools.

Thank ypu fpr posting this i have craftsman set but for now on everything hand tool i buy is napa i get student diacount and milwaukee power tools. Husky os my second go to.

Hey Grease Monkey awesome tool collection... I liked what you said about paying to much for the tool container... I got my Snap On box used for $2,200 when I was 19... Paid cash to the guy I had a shop with...

Tools need to be like bridges: Good enough to get the job done well! You, Sir, have what is needed in tools and obviously it serves You well. ATB, Gereon

Awesome Video!🎥

Great tool box tour and advice. Thanks for sharing.

Keep up to great work on the videos

I like your set up, I have a lot of Carlyle also. Good quality for the price and more convenient and cheaper than the tool truck.

I noticed you aint wearin no steel toes. Im 15 and I can tell you from my experiances workn on trucks and tractors steel toes are somethin to be thankful for.

Awesome set up man.. I just picked up some of those Carlyle metric chrome sockets, definitely worth the money....

Great tour, and great philosophy there on the tool spending there.

I love Wilton hammers. You know a product is good when the company will pay you 1000$ if you can break their product. They really are unbreakable

2:48 that’s why my wife likes the neighbor.

Great video nicely organized and your smart with your purchases!👍

Snap on toolboxes are expensive yeah, but they are quality boxes. I have the 68’ with the 3 long drawers and just the three drawers are full left to right. They are very very heavy and the box as no problem with the weight. You just spread everything out putting like 10 wrenches in one drawer. If I was to put all my tools into your toolbox that shit would collapse.

I like you video i am deciding how to set up my box and you gave me some good tips.

Nice setup thanks for the tour

Its almost identical to my box no joke 👍🍺

I'd like to say something....I'm in same field and could use some bigger sockets and wrenches....channel lock makes affordable big wrenches..got to 3inches...and nice quality...should have up to 2 1/2 or 52mm range of sockets....know shop has bigger stuff for wheel bearing nuts and not made to handle impact....look at older usa craftsman and s k tools....they great bang for buck....good job my man😎

Nice toolbox tour

Only reason I'd buy snapon or mac is cus since I'm a student in a diesel program, I get 50 percent off.

Nice setup bro

nice set up. I like those new carlyle wrenches- I've replaced some of my wrenches with them lately

Thank you for the video very helpful

real life of an diesel mechanic tools

nice set up

You should check out vim tools on amazon. Affordable and really good quality!

I like you tool...

Nice video

What’s the story with the sock or cloth zip tied to your air hammer

Do you know of your Mac socket magnetic socket holders have a lifetime warranty

Where did you get the carlyle professional wrenches?

What is steel compared to the hand that wields it?

very nice set up , us general box ?

Where did you buy that tool box ive looked all over? And how you like it so far

nice shit. i get lots of tools from amazon

You do not need that many tools. People if you're entering the field 1st time, the best thing to do is get *Box set of 1/2'' & 3/8'' impact socket up to 10mm to 32mm or 3/8'' to 1-1/4''.(They have to be both deep and shallow type sockets)* The shop will provide you with anything that's larger than 32mm or 1-1/4''. Get a *1/2'' impact gun.* Get a *Set of open & boxed combination wrench from 8mm to 32mm or 5/16'' to 1-1/4''.* Get a cheap *DMM and probing kit.* Nothing fancy. (You're not an electrician) Get a *Pry bar above 18''* A cheap *4pc pliers set* And a *4lb hammer and a Mallet hammer* That should be plenty. You don't have to but if you can find a cheap 1/4'' box set that will be awesome.

How do you like the mahindra roxors?

What brand is that box

What brand of equipment do you work on?

I'm dizzy... or high.... or both

Hello there I wanted to find out if you know of any good books on repair manual for diesel engine I have a Volvo 2006 vnl 670 and 8 has a little bit of tissue I have the fan clutch that is bad I have the fuel filter housing that is bad and other little red shoes and I wanted to do the work myself so I wanted to ask you if you know of any really good mechanic book manual that you can recommend me so I can buy thank you

You should think about upgrading your mic

No pneumatic impacts?

Nice Video.. Read one of your posts on a video about a Mahindra tractor with temp sensor problems.. Followed you here.. I left a comment in your discussion area.. Check it please.. Would like to chat with you about some equipment.. Worth your time?

why hate on snap on? not nice

So much lost space in your drawers. I’d rather have a 10k toolbox with a bigger better drawer lay out.
